Many thanks to Vaishanavi mam and others for putting great efforts in transcribing RS proceedings conducted on19/2/2014 in an accessible format for print impaired. I just quote what mattered the most, 'SHRIMATI KANIMOZHI (TAMIL NADU): Sir, the whole of last Session and this entire Session we have every day been requesting you to allow a discussion on the issue of fishermen. But we have not been allowed. ...(Interruptions)... We also want a discussion on the UNHRC because, next month, there is going to be the Geneva Conference and we would like to know the stand of the Indian Government as to what they are going to do over there. We also agree that The Street Vendors (Protection of Livelihood and Regulation of Street Vending) Bill and the other two Bills be passed. But we have a strong objection to The Disabilities Bill. We wanted it to be sent to the Standing Committee. We will not allow it to be taken up today. Thank you. (Ends)'.

Thank you Vaishnavi, without you being my white cane, friend, I should have spent much time transcribing all such non-unicode contents surpassing the hindi comments. Your patient highlights helped me a lotI think there should be another added to our list of non-negotiables, use unicode for all government correspondence universal accessibility by visually challenged. Thats again a right! So, here are the contents of Rajya Sabha proceedings yesterday, 19th February and the reason for Amba's request to Tyagi for his more clarification. Sometime, going through these, sensitisation should be top to bottom and bottom to top.. Complete wash.. like that for the present RPD Bill. And, the Vice president is more a teacher in primary schooll.. apppaa.. great patience indeed! The transcription below for a quick read.. if missed anything, please get back. Thanks. Uncorrected/ Not for Publication-19.02.2014 HK-MP/1A/11.00 The House met at eleven of the clock, MR. CHAIRMAN in the Chair. --- MR. CHAIRMAN: Question No.361 ...(Interruptions)... What is this? ...(Interruptions)... Please restore order. ...(Interruptions)... MR. CHAIRMAN: Question No.361 ...(Interruptions)... Please. ...(Interruptions)... Please adhere to the procedure. ...(Interruptions)... Please. ...(Interruptions)... MR. CHAIRMAN: Please do not discuss the other House here. ...(Interruptions)... We cannot discuss the other House here. ...(Interruptions)... We all know the procedure. ...(Interruptions)... MR. DEPUTY CHAIRMAN: Okay, now, Shri Derek O'Brien. ...(Interruptions)... (Followed by KLS/1J) KLS/MCM/1J-3.05 SHRI DEREK O' BRIEN (WEST BENGAL): Sir, the House may be in order or not in order, we do not know. There was a broad consensus on four Bills. Yes, all of us are in support of Street Vendors Bill. Along with that is the Bengal Engineering College Bill, the Rani Lakshmi Bai Central Agricultural University Bill, etc. These three are together. Please don't convey the wrong impression that this House does not want the Street Vendors Bill or Bengal Engineering College Bill or Rani Lakshmi Bai Central Agricultural University Bill. ...(Interruptions).. The Disability Bill is also there. ...(Interruptions)... In order to keep the House in order, the Congress has to keep its own Members and flock in order and should not pass the buck. ...(Interruptions)... SHRI D. RAJA (TAMIL NADU): Sir, thank you very much. Now by this time it has become very clear what the sense of the House is. Unanimously Members are for passing these Bills. ...(Interruptions)... MR. DEPUTY CHAIRMAN: Maitreyanji, I have allowed him. ...(Interruptions)... What is this? ...(Interruptions)... SHRI D. RAJA: What I am saying is that the sense of the House is that Street Vendors Bill and other Bills...(Interruptions)... MR. DEPUTY CHAIRMAN: I have allowed Mr. Raja. Why don't you allow him? ...(Interruptions)... Mr. Maitreyan, he is also a Member like you. SHRI D. RAJA: As far as these four Bills are concerned, there can be a consensus. ...(Interruptions)... SHRI D. RAJA (CONTD.): In fact, next month, there will be the UNHRC meeting at Geneva. Nobody knows what stand the Government of India is going to take there. ...(Interruptions)... We have given a Calling Attention notice also. ...(Interruptions)... So, there are some serious issues of importance. ...(Interruptions)... The House should be in order. And, it is the responsibility of the Government to assure that the House is in order. ...(Interruptions)... MR. DEPUTY CHAIRMAN: I will allow you. ...(Interruptions)... I will give you maximum time. ...(Interruptions)... Madam Kanimozhi, please sit down. I will call you after Mr. Yechury. ...(Interruptions)... SHRI SITARAM YECHURY (WEST BENGAL): Sir, in the BAC meeting and in the meeting of the leaders it has every day been agreed that these four Bills -- The Street Vendors (Protection of Livelihood and Regulation of Street Vending) Bill, The National Institutes of Technology, Science Education and Research (Amendment) Bill, The Rani Lakshmi Bai Central Agricultural University Bill, The Governors (Emoluments, Allowances and Privileges) Amendment Bill, 2013 - be cleared. ...(Interruptions)... SHRI SITARAM YECHURY: Sir, we had agreed that these four Bills should be passed in the interest of various sections. I would only request that, in adherence to that general understanding, you bring these Bills and let them be passed. But first restore order in the House so that we can also discuss what has been referred to us by the Lok Sabha on the question of formation of Telangana State. But that depends only on the order in the House. I appeal to everybody, let there be order. Let us have a proper discussion and pass all these Bills. That is my only request. I request you also to take all these matters into consideration. ...(Interruptions)... MR. DEPUTY CHAIRMAN: Now, Shrimati Kanimozhi. ...(Interruptions)... I will call you after Shrimati Kanimozhi. ...(Interruptions)... will call you. ...(Interruptions)... I will call you. Please sit down. ...(Interruptions)... I will give you time. ...(Interruptions)... I have allowed only Shrimati Kanimozhi. ...(Interruptions)... SHRIMATI KANIMOZHI (TAMIL NADU): Sir, the whole of last Session and this entire Session we have every day been requesting you to allow a discussion on the issue of fishermen. But we have not been allowed. ...(Interruptions)... We also want a discussion on the UNHRC because, next month, there is going to be the Geneva Conference and we would like to know the stand of the Indian Government as to what they are going to do over there. We also agree that The Street Vendors (Protection of Livelihood and Regulation of Street Vending) Bill and the other two Bills be passed. But we have a strong objection to The Disabilities Bill. We wanted it to be sent to the Standing Committee. We will not allow it to be taken up today. Thank you. (Ends) MR. DEPUTY CHAIRMAN: So, that is the point. Then, with regard to the issue of Westland helicopter, I myself said in this House that the hon. Defence Minister is ready to reply to that. He had himself told me that he was ready to make the reply. But we could not give him time. Now, there are only three days. ...(Interruptions)... My request to every Member is...(Interruptions)... Please. ...(Interruptions)... Now, from all that has been expressed here, I have come to the conclusion that there is a consensus on these four Bills. That is what I felt. No Party has objected to these four Bills. I would read out the names of those four Bills: the Street Vendors Bill, The Rani Lakshmi Bai Central Agricultural University Bill, 2012, The National Institutes of Technology, Science, Education and Research (Amendment) Bill, 2013 and The Governors (Emoluments, Allowances and Privileges) Amendment Bill, 2013. On these four Bills, I see that there is a consensus in the House. ...(Interruptions)... SHRI K.C. TYAGI: What about the discussion, Sir? ...(Interruptions)... Now, Tyagiji, there is a technical problem in your Bill. As far as I know the Disabilities Bill has already been referred to the Standing Committee. ...(Interruptions)... I will find out the correct position and revert back to you. ...(Interruptions)... Tomorrow, I will come back to you. If the Minister knows correctly the position ...(Interruptions)... THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF PARLIAMENTARY AFFAIRS (SHRI RAJEEV SHUKLA): Hon. Chairman is yet to take a decision. ...(Interruptions)... MR. DEPUTY CHAIRMAN: The hon. Minister says ...(Interruptions)... with regard to the Disabilities Bill, my information was that it has been referred to the Standing Committee. Now, the Minister says that it is still pending with the hon. Chairman. I will find out the position and if it is still pending with the hon. Chairman, I will convey your request to the hon. Chairman for taking appropriate action. ...(Interruptions)... SHRI TAPAN KUMAR SEN: It is already referred to the Standing Committee. ...(Interruptions)... MR. DEPUTY CHAIRMAN: Now, I hope that these four Bills we can take up one by one and pass without discussion. ...(Interruptions)...
